Amen, all right it's great to be here tonight. Thank you so much for coming out
on a Wednesday night and of course you probably already do anyway but it's
great to be out here in Sacramento and I've had a great trip so far. Got to
see some of the state that I've never seen before. I've never been to
Monterey, never been to Santa Cruz, those are a couple of places that we
went to and Old Sac we went there today so it was really nice. I got a
little bit of a sunburn. I think somebody pointed that out today so I'm not
used to that up in the northwest having sunshine come out so anyway I just want
to thank Pastor Jimenez and and the church for everything and always
appreciate the great hospitality that I get here and and I've had a great time.
Thank you so much Pastor Jimenez and Verity Baptist Church. It's like being
back with family again, always being here to preach and so really
appreciate you coming out like I said and I appreciate your taking care of me
like you always do so. So anyway the title of the sermon tonight is
Whosoever, whosoever and so in John 3 16 let's look down at the verse there
and it says John 3 16 for God so loved the world that he gave his only
begotten son that whosoever believeth in him should not perish but have
everlasting life. This is a you know the most famous verse in the whole
Bible and that verse contains the word whosoever and so tonight I wanted
to do just a kind of a Bible study on the word whosoever and the statements
that are said in with that word whosoever in the Bible. So whosoever
is actually a formal term for the word whoever and whoever means what
anyone right so whosoever is a great word of the Bible and there's a lot
of great verses attached to that word and you know there's a lot of talk
about being inclusive today. Who's heard about the word inclusive? Well
whosoever is a word that includes everybody and so God is inclusive you
know not in the way that we're being taught that we need to be you know is
just the weird society that we live in today but anyway so God's not
excluding anybody so when it says the word inclusive actually means not
excluding any of the other parties or groups involved in something so when the
word whosoever is used in the Bible it's saying everybody anyone so and
there like I said there's many great verses in the Bible that teach that
word whosoever that has that word whosoever in it and so I definitely
just wanted to kind of you know have a Bible study about this night
since it's a Bible study night and so the word whosoever always has an
emphasis and a powerful point in any verse that's used in in the Bible
there's a hundred and sixty two mentions of that word whosoever I was
really surprised at that number I thought well maybe I could just get
through the whole thing and so I figured you know Pastor Mendez said you
know don't worry about the time tonight he said you know don't he said
preach as long as you want and that's like saying sic em to a dog to
me right you guys were here last time it was brutal you know on a on a
night of a potluck of all things to just preach that long it's crazy so
there's 162 mentions of the word whosoever and we're not gonna leave a stone
unturned tonight I'm just kidding this brother Ray is about ready to get
up and walk out so anyway so I'm not gonna preach as long as I want so I'll
preach I'll try to stay within the confines of a few hours so anyway I
have three points tonight three points and point number one is
whosoever as a painful warning whosoever as a painful warning and so
the first mention let's turn to Genesis chapter 4 and we'll look at the first
mention of the word whosoever in the Bible
Genesis chapter 4 verse number 15 and obviously that's the first book of the
Bible so it shouldn't be too hard to get there
Genesis chapter 4 verse 15 says and the Lord said unto him therefore whosoever
slayeth Cain vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold and the Lord set a
mark upon Cain lest any finding him should kill him and so the very first
mention of the word whosoever what it is what it's dealing with Cain and
God said whosoever slayeth Cain vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold
so whosoever is a painful warning sometimes the word whosoever is used to
warn people in the Bible about things and in this case you know Cain
actually deserved to get killed but God said hey if you if anybody slays
Cain like he did to his brother he's gonna he's gonna there it's gonna be
vengeance taken on him sevenfold and that is is a scary warning to
anybody that would have killed him so now turn to Exodus chapter 12 verse
15 and so we should understand that the word whosoever you know it it includes
everybody and in some cases it's a painful warning to people Exodus
chapter 12 verse 15 says seven days shall shall you eat unleavened bread
even the first day you shall put away leaven out of your houses for
whosoever eateth leavened bread from the first day unto the seventh that soul
shall be cut off from Israel and so God's making this point that you know
you're gonna do things the way I want you to do them it's just like
salvation you can't do however you want there's a certain way you have to
get saved that's by believing on the Lord Jesus Christ by the way and so
this is you know this picture here is picturing that if you you know eating
leavened bread is it is a picture of sin as it's a picture of partaking in
sin and so that picture was meant for us to see that we have to eat the
unleavened bread right the bread of life the Lord Jesus Christ and so but
the the children of Israel it says that they that soul would be cut off
for not doing this pass over the way that they were supposed to do so if
you think about this spiritually if you don't partake of the Lord Jesus
Christ's broken body and perfect sacrifice your sin will not be forgiven
you will be cut off also and so looking at this spiritually this
whosoever that's not something that we want to be is cut off from among
the people and obviously that's talking about the children of Israel
and the nation of Israel but spiritually speaking if you don't
partake of the Lamb of God then you're gonna be cut off also just like
anybody else would so now flip over to Exodus chapter 22 verse 19 we'll see
another whosoever here and of course I'm not really going through all 162
verses but I'm gonna hit the highlights and I'm gonna hit the ones
that I think are the the most powerful verses so let's look at verse
number 19 in Exodus chapter 22 it says whosoever lieth with a beast shall
surely be put to death so God puts a warning on someone that would be a
sexual pervert is what this guy someone that would lie with a beast an animal
as he would with a woman or a man it's wicked and God said you know what it's
the death penalty and so whosoever does this particular sin that's the
death penalty and see whosoever means anyone doesn't it and so God
doesn't mince words when it comes to the death penalty there's many
different things that would be a death penalty situation but Exodus 22 19
clearly says that whosoever does this wicked sin this perversion it is
surely going to be put to death and our society to be a lot better if we put
people to death that deserve to be put to death right I don't think
anybody's gotten put to death in any liberal state that I've known on
for a long time so I mean they they put all the serial killers to death
pretty much and and then you know there's some people in prison that are
still probably serial killers but you just don't hear about that kind of
stuff very often anymore you know why because the the governor's have put a
moratorium on the death penalty but see God says that anybody that does
that's a sin or there's multiple different sins first-degree murder would
be a sin that should be put to death for rape and all these different things
but whosoever you know this is a warning to someone that would break
God's law and his moral law in this way turn to Exodus chapter 32
verse 33 now God here is talking in Exodus chapter 32 verse 33 to Moses
and Moses is interceding for the people because God's ready to just wipe out
the children of Israel make Moses this great nation and Moses intercedes
for him for the for the children of Israel and he's saying he's basically
saying blot me out of the book and so God's saying no I'm not gonna blot
you out of the book and and this is a good picture of also eternal
security Moses is saved he can't be plotted on the book all right but
these people that that God is ready to smoke here he says look at verse 33 it
says and the Lord said unto Moses whosoever has sinned against me him
will I blot out of my book so God will blot people's name out of the
book of life that doesn't mean that that person saved that means their
name is already there but the Bible says that whosoever has sinned against
me this is what he's telling Moses will I blot out of my book so God
will blot people out of that book that's a painful reminder that you can go to
hell you could actually lose you could lose the ability to actually be saved
you could lose the ability to by sitting against the Holy you know
speaking against the Holy Ghost and all these different things that God
would pull put you out of the book for but you know once you could
actually be in the book till the very end in some cases and then you
die and you're that's your last chance you're done God blots you out of the
book of life and whosoever sins against God that's gonna anybody that
sins is gonna go to hell without Christ right so whosoever has sinned
against me that would be anybody right that's what it says whosoever has sinned
against me now look at Leviticus chapter 18 verse 29 Leviticus chapter
18 verse number 29 look at verse 29 it says for whosoever shall commit any of
these abominations even the souls that commit them shall be cut off among their
people now I'm not I don't have time to go through all the different
abominations that are in Leviticus chapter 18 but one of them is sodomy
all right and line with you know all these incestuous things that are in
there you know giving your children over to Moloch to walk through the fire
these types of abominations God says for whosoever shall committed these
abominations even the souls that commit them shall be cut off from among their
people therefore shall you keep mine ordinance that you commit not any one
of these abominable customs which were committed before you and that you
defile not yourselves therein I am the Lord your God God has a stern
warning against people that would do the abominations that are listed in
this chapter and he says whosoever commits any of these they're gonna
be cut off from among their people now look at Deuteronomy chapter 18 Deuteronomy
chapter 18 this is another chapter where there's a lot of warnings in it
but also Moses talks about this prophet that's gonna come and of
course he's talking about the Lord Jesus Christ look at verse number 19 it
says and it shall come to pass that whosoever will not hearken unto my
words which he shall speak in my name I will require it of him Moses is
talking about the Lord Jesus Christ and isn't that what happened the people
that he came to said the Bible says that he came to his own and his own
received him not and so the people that didn't didn't hearken unto the
words of the Lord Jesus Christ that those people were God required of him
didn't he he required it of the nation of Israel and he came and
destroyed their temple in 70 AD because they said that they wanted his blood to
be upon them and upon their children well sometimes you get what you ask for
don't you and so unfortunately anybody that doesn't hearken unto the
words of the Lord Jesus Christ God is gonna require it of them so it's a
warning that you know whosoever as a warning and as you know a warning to
people that would not hearken unto the words of the Lord Jesus Christ now
let's let's go to Proverbs chapter 20 verse number 1 Proverbs chapter 20 verse
number 1 and so God is warning us with these whosoever verses that
anybody's included that nobody gets to get out of that when he's saying
whosoever it means anyone now look at Proverbs chapter 20 verse 1 this is
the time of year as the Sun starts coming out and people start you know
dressing less than they would normally dress and they start drinking and
partying and you know this world that we live in you know alcohol is a big
deal in this world and billions and billions of dollars worth of alcohol is
drank in this country I don't know how many billions but I know it's
billions get drank in this country alone I mean recycling bins are filled
up like I'll be you know driving around you'll see like the recycling
bins are just filled with wine bottles like how many bottles of wine you gonna
drink every week bro I mean it's a lot so but I mean I'm sure some of you
have neighbors where you see that they have their recycling bin and the
wine bottles are overflowing out of there but God has some strong language
about someone that would be someone that drinks alcohol look at Proverbs
chapter 20 verse number 1 look what it says wine is a mocker what is a
mocker someone that makes fun of somebody right so wine you know you're
someone that wants to drink or you want to excuse the fact that you think
well Jesus turned water into wine so that means I can drink or whatever
but what does the Bible say in Proverbs says wine is a mocker in the end wine
is gonna make fun of you right you're gonna do stupid things and then
people are gonna laugh at you and your bottles gonna laugh at you look it
says wine is a mocker strong drink is raging what do people do when they get
all drunk they rage and they get in fights and it says and whosoever is
deceived thereby is not wise who so ever that means anyone right
whosoever is deceived thereby is what very wise yeah alcohol is good
for you have a little wine for right off your stomach steak you know people
will take that see you know Timothy drank wine but look the Bible saying
that you're not wise if you're deceived by wine right isn't that what
it says that you're not wise as Christians are we supposed to be wise
absolutely and what is the opposite of wise foolish so someone that is
going to drink something that would mock them someone's gonna drink something
that's gonna make them rage you know that's a person that's not wise
and any people make any excuse to be able to continue in the sin that they
want to commit and when it comes to alcohol there's a lot of Christians out
there that like oh yeah it's it's fine to have a glass of beer after a
hard day's work or whatever but what does the Bible actually say if you're
deceived by that you're not wise whosoever it's not like oh yeah well
you know I know that they have a problem with it but I'm okay I don't
get drunk I don't drink more than I'm supposed to you know there's not like
some some meter in your body that says okay you're drunk now it comes upon you
you don't realize you're there and then all sudden you're there you're
drunk and how and when do you know well you're not gonna know you're just
gonna start acting like a goofball you're gonna and then that goofball
turns into someone's crying and that goofball turns into someone that's
raging and fighting people for no reason they don't even know what they're
doing falling down drunk and looking stupid and you know what nobody likes
to have some kind of a drunk hang on them who's ever had a drunk hang on you
and you're like get off me what's wrong with you you know it's it's
annoying it really is so look at Proverbs chapter 23 and the Bible
says whosoever's deceived thereby is not wise so are you deceived by it are you
the one are you a person in here that I mean I'm not gonna ask you for a
raise of hands okay but look the Bible is against alcohol and and people
you know it's against the consumption of alcohol and it's it's definitely
against drunkards you know drunkard isn't even supposed to be in the
church so if you're a drunkard you know you shouldn't be here but what
does it say in Proverbs chapter 23 verse 29 says who hath woe who hath
sorrow who hath contentions who hath babbling who hath wounds without a
cause who hath redness of eyes they that tarry long at the wine they
that go to seek mixed wine so yeah oh yeah you know I just have a little a
little bit of alcohol every once in a while you know what if someone knows
that and you're doing that and you're like trying to make excuses as to why
it's okay you're you know what you're being a stumbling block first of all
to somebody that has had a problem with it there's a lot of people probably
in this room that have had a problem with alcohol even if you weren't like
an addict of it that you had a problem were once you were on it you
acted like an idiot once you were on it you made mistakes you wish you could
take back once you were on it you're out of control once you're drunk
you're drunk and you're gonna do foolish things but look what look what
it says who hath woe you know what woe is someone that's just has hard big
problems in their lives curses basically is what it is who hath woe who
has sorrow you know do you want to be a person is just filled with sorrow
that's why people drink alcohol because they're they want to just drown and
whose heard the term drown in your sorrows that's what people want to do
it says who hath contentions you know what alcohol does it makes people fight
it makes couples fight it makes abusive homes it makes someone beat
their children beat their wife or the wife beat their husband I mean that's
that happens too but you know it also it costs what causes contentions
it causes contentions with friendship it causes contentions in your life who
have babbling what's it what's it talk about babbling who's ever seen some
drunk idiot and they can't even talk because they're just babbling and then
spewing out a bunch of foolish things that they shouldn't be saying who has
wounds without a cause you know people that are drunkards that are
really bad they'll wake up and they got marks on them they got
scratches on them they got bruised I don't how did I get this bruise well
you're too drunk to remember what happened last night that's what that's
how and these types of people you know these people that have wounds without a
cause you know I've watched people just be so drunk that they just walked
and fell straight on their face on the pavement you want to know how
that's gonna leave a mark I'm just saying it's gonna leave a mark it's
gonna you know it's if you fall straight on your face drunk it's gonna
hurt you and I mean I just had to look away I don't I didn't know what
else to do he was like some homeless guy but I mean he just didn't move I
thought he was dead or something but that you know that is that what you
you know you people that drink they don't really realize that that's where
it ends up and maybe it doesn't end up like that for everybody but it is
a dangerous thing and the Bible says whosoever is deceived thereby is not
wise so if that's you I mean there's I don't know what your life is I
don't know what you do outside of here and you know pastor doesn't know
every single thing that everybody does you know people say that we're in a cult
but you know who's got the the thing in their house that says come to church
who's got the speaker that says come to church have you guys gotten that
yet the new people here it's not true you know we don't control what
people do and I don't try to control what people do in my church but I'll
tell you what I don't want them to do is to drink and be deceived by
alcohol to be to be drunken and think that they can control it and there's
people here that have had a problem with alcohol or drugs or whatever it is
and that's something that would be a huge stumbling block to them don't ever
said even if you think that that's true that it's okay for you to drink
don't tell other people that because what are you doing you're causing your
brother to stumble it's wrong it's wicked and so don't do that but look
skip down to verse number 35 and here's the real problem with being
someone that's given to alcohol and drinking and there's a lot of stuff
that happens in between these verses I just don't have time to cover it but
look what it says they have stricken me thou shalt thou say and I was not
sick they have beaten me and I felt it not when shall I awake I will seek
it yet again and what is the problem with with alcohol do you think
that people there's some people that are trapped in a cycle that they can't
get out of because they're addicted to alcohol and this is the type of
person that's what it's saying is that this person will have all this stuff
happen to them and then they'll get up and seek it again because you know
what they're addicted to it and so don't don't get this attitude that
you don't think that alcohol is addictive or maybe and maybe it isn't
to you but it is to other people so don't be a stumbling block to somebody
else and don't be fooled by people that would say well these pastors these
Baptists are just crazy the Bible doesn't say that the Bible talks
about wine being a blessing yeah it's a different kind of wine it's called
grape juice or it's called fruit juice it's not alcoholic so when it's talking
about this do you think this is talking about grape juice absolutely not it's
talking about stuff that has alcohol in it you know what it's poison it
literally poisons you there's people that have died from just drinking
alcohol one time you know why because it's poison and our body couldn't
handle it and so we shouldn't have anything to do with that now let's
look over in the New Testament at Matthew chapter 5 verse number 32
Matthew chapter 5 verse 32 the Bible says but I say unto you that whosoever
shall put away his wife saving for the cause of fornication causeth her
to commit adultery and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced
committh adultery there's a lot of people that have a hard time with this
verse here too you know they just can't get the the fact that it says
whosoever right does that mean anybody it's not your special circumstance
it's not I didn't know any better at the time and look I'm not trying to
harp on people that have already made the mistake of getting divorced
remarried I'm not but I do want to warn people that haven't made that
mistake or that think it's okay to just get divorced and remarried for
any reason you know that's what the that's what the Pharisees believed but
look what it says that whosoever shall put away his wife for saving for the
cause of fornication which happens before you consummate the marriage by
the way causeth her to commit adultery so when you divorce somebody
you causing that person to commit adultery and who and what and
whosoever shall marry her that's divorced committed adultery so you know
that song whosoever surely meaneth me when it comes to this verse and
divorce and and and being remarried whosoever meaneth you also okay
whosoever meaneth you and yeah that verse is about salvation I mean that
that song is about salvation and things like that it's a great song but
whosoever meaneth you also well I I'll tell you this and I've said this
before that divorce and marriage issues are the biggest problems that I ever
deal with as a pastor they're hurt think I mean just it's the hardest
thing to deal with and you can ask pastor I'm sure he would agree that
that's with the same thing that it's it's hard to deal with marriage
issues because people just get divorced for any reason now and then
you got mixed families and you got all this kind of stuff going on and
it's hurtful and it's hard but look what am I gonna preach tell Kingdom
come I'm gonna preach that if you put away your wife for any reason you
know for any reason say for the cause of fornication you're committing an
adultery if you get remarried don't come to me with your story don't come to me
with oh but me no it's whosoever that means anyone so you're not you're
not above this your situation isn't special just look what the Bible says
and believe it and then you know if you're like having a hard time in your
marriage then try to make it better you know it's not as bad as you think
it is and maybe it is though but it can get worse you know what's worse
divorce you know what's worse your children having not two parents in the
home and so work out your issues you know you you were so quick to get
married well stick it out then stick and stay make it pay right stick
and stay you want to stick and stay with your marriage and not you you want
to be a whosoever that you don't want to be this whosoever this is a warning
against people that would commit adultery and cause someone to commit
adultery so Matthew chapter 12 let's look over at Matthew chapter 12 the
Bible says in Matthew 12 32 and whosoever speak of the word against
the Son of Man it shall be forgiven him so if you blaspheme the Son of Man
he blasphemed Jesus Christ then that thing can be forgiven you right and it
says but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost it shall not be forgiven him
and there's people that have done that there's people that have
blasting the Holy Ghost and it says that they it shall not be forgiven him
neither in this world neither in the world to come so that is not a good
whosoever that's it you know if people people use Jesus Christ's name as a
cuss word all the time and it's good that I mean I'm it's not good to
blaspheme the name of Jesus Christ I'm not saying that but if they're
blasting the Holy Ghost that'd be a different story right but you know you
don't see you don't hear people do that isn't that interesting like
people don't usually use the Holy Ghost as though as a cuss word right
they'll say God they'll say Jesus but they won't usually say the Holy Ghost
have you ever noticed that I don't know it's just something I noticed but if
you if you speak a word against the Holy Ghost it's not gonna be forgiven
you that's what the Bible says and that's a very dangerous thing to do
and you know I've preached before a lot before here about that blasphemy
challenge where people actually set up a website or you could get people to
blaspheme the Holy Ghost on on camera I mean what kind of sick demonic people
would put something up like that and and you know don't ever do something
like that you know sometimes kids do dumb things but don't do something that
dumb because there's a strict warning that you can't be forgiven for that
right look at Revelation chapter 22 verse 15 Revelation chapter 22 verse
number 15
Bible says for without our dogs and sorcerers and whoremongers and
murderers and idolaters and whosoever loveth and maketh alive this is
talking about people that would go to hell these are these are yeah
they're not gonna be allowed to be in heaven see God it's God's house it's
God's heaven God made everything you know what he makes the rules on who
goes there and who doesn't you know what he says he's excluding people here
that are not gonna get to go he's excluding people that would do these
wicked sins and not get saved obviously if you get saved you still
get to go to heaven but whosoever loveth and maketh alive who's you
know all these different sins that it's saying those people are without and
God doesn't have to let him in you know do you just let anybody in your house
that just walks up to your door I don't you just don't know what they're like
you know so and there's some people that by choice you would say you're not
allowed to my house I'm sure there's people in here that have had
experiences where like hey you can't come over anymore or you're not allowed
to my house and you know that's your house that's your rules and God's the
same way people are like how God God's forgiving he forgives everybody no he
doesn't he only forgives people that are saved and and sometimes people that
are saved he's still angry with so you know we still have to live the
Christian life and still keep God's commandments not to be saved but
obviously to be in a right relationship with God right so that's
all the negative stuff all right well most of it anyway so so number two
tonight whosoever as a personal choice see we God has some verses where he
talks about people having a personal choice and that personal choice can
grant them one way or the other and so whosoever is a personal choice let's
go back to Exodus chapter 35 Exodus chapter 35 so point number one was
whosoever is a painful warning point number two is whosoever is a
personal choice I look at verse number five in Exodus chapter 35 it says take
you from among you an offering unto the Lord whosoever is of a willing heart let
him bring it an offering of the Lord gold and silver and brass now this is
a special offering that's being taken up here but God is saying there's
there's people that would say that we don't have our own free will who's
heard of that Calvinistic wicked doctrine obviously most people in here
probably have heard of it but if you have a willing heart to do something
that's a choice that you get to make right not you know what you just had
the vision offering and some people probably gave and some people I'm sure
didn't you know and and obviously it's not a for it's called you know it's
that would be what would be called a free will offering you know the you
know pastor Mendez gets up with the challenge and and the things that are
needed for the vision offering and some people give to it and some people
don't but does it make you not right with God if you don't give to it no it
says whosoever has a willing heart and so some people don't have a willing
heart and that's fine that's your choice but you know God is gonna bless
you for having a willing heart this was a special offering for the stuff
for the tabernacle but you know God wants us to have a willing heart you
know he wants us to have a willing heart and he says whosoever is of a
willing heart let him bring it an offering of unto the Lord and so
there's nothing wrong with giving more you know obviously God wants us to give
10% there's nothing wrong with giving more though there's nothing wrong with
only giving 10% either though so I mean that's what I believe but if I'm
wrong about that then you know if I'm anything I say that is different what
pastor Mendez says and he's always right so but I think he agrees with me
on that so but anyway so we do have personal choices we you know a free will
offering means that you give it of your own free will and so that would
like just there's one verse that would just say oh Calvinism can't be right
then because otherwise God just making you do that and that's not what
it says right it says that you are of a willing heart you know and so it
says whosoever is of a willing heart so look at Matthew chapter 5 verse
number 19 Matthew chapter 5 verse 19 here's another choice so you can
have a choice to willingly give and obviously even tithing you still have to
willingly give right you know we don't it's not like Pastor Jimenez is like
the Mormons and just walks up to your door hey you miss your ties this
week you know he doesn't do that does he the but the Mormon Church does
do that my grandma was part of the Mormon Church a long time ago and she
said that they came to the door and gave her a bill for her tithing she's
like get out of here and don't ever come back so amen grandma but yeah so even
though the tithe is something we're supposed to pay it's a commandment of
God it's still up to you to do that and that's that takes faith sometimes
and sometimes as a new Christian like people are like and let me just help
you with something as a new Christian sometimes you're like I don't see how
I'm gonna pay this bill and pay the 10% but you know what God is gonna make
the ends meet he promises to do that you know he says prove me now here with
saith the Lord he's gonna pour out the out of the windows of heaven a
blessing for you and you're like I just don't know loosen your grip on
that money loosen your grip on it because you know he's gonna rebuke the
devour for for your sake when you give to the Lord he's gonna rebuke the
devour but you know what's gonna happen when you're like I don't know
I just I got to hang on to this 10% the cars gonna break down it's telling you
right now you're gonna get flat tires you know you're not gonna have enough
money for groceries the money that you thought you were savings gonna get
spent on other stuff it's called a new dishwasher new washer dryer you know
so if your washer and dryer keeps breaking down every month maybe you
should start tithing and look it does take faith to tithe but once you have
that faith to do that then you'll never turn back from it you know I'm not
sitting here just trying to drain you of your money or something it's like I
don't know this guy is just talking about money but you know money gets
talked about in the Bible sometimes so and it's you know I don't want to
I don't even care what you give honestly it doesn't matter to me you
know I'm not your pastor but I'll tell you what it's gonna matter to you
and your family because God's gonna bless you when you give and that you know
you're gonna add up the bills it's not gonna make sense telling you that right
now whoever's not tithing I don't know who it is pastor didn't tell me so
don't worry about that but I'm just saying you'll look at your bills
and be like how can I give how can I do this it's like just believe God
believe his promise because that's like the one of the one things you can
prove God with in the Bible if you give the tithe he's gonna make sure
that you're taken care of period so anyway where was I at here Matthew 5 19
thank you Matthew 5 19 here's another whosoever whosoever shall therefore
shall break one of these least Commandments and shall teach men so he
shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven but whosoever shall do
and teach them the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven so people
that teach other people you know some people will teach to break God's
commandments but it doesn't say that they're still going to heaven yeah
they're still going to heaven but you know the whosoever shall break one
of these least Commandments and teach men shall be least in the kingdom of
heaven so you don't want to be least in the kingdom of heaven but so you
have a choice here so whosoever is a personal choice in this verse and it's
saying hey if you want to break if you want to teach people to break the
commandments well guess what you're gonna be least you're gonna be the
person cleaning the toilets or whatever I don't know what that means
exactly but you're gonna be least all right but you also have a choice
to do and teach the commandments to do and teach the right things and the
Bible says it doesn't say you're gonna be the greatest in heaven but it says
you'll be great in heaven and so hey and and not everybody here is a
pastor or a teacher in that way but you still teach your children don't you
you still teach your your your wife or whatever you teach people at the door
when you when you preach the gospel to them so you know it's but some
people will try to teach something wrong because they know that they want
to do something wrong right and so don't get caught up in that because
you don't want to be you know the first hey you know brother Oliver it's
time to go clean the toilet again sorry you were teaching you know I'm sorry
brother Oliver but yeah you don't want to be that that person's least
you want to make the choice you want to be the whosoever that's gonna
be great in the kingdom of heaven because you're teaching the right
things to people turn to Matthew 7 24 Matthew 7 24 Matthew 7 24 says there
were here at these saints of mine and do with them I will liken him unto a
wise man which built his house upon a rock and so you have a choice to hear
the sayings of his and do them see some people just hear things but they
don't do them but God wants us to be doers of the word and not just here's
only right and it says I will like liken him unto a wise man that built
his house upon a rock you don't want to be the the person that built your
house upon sinking sand you want to do the commandments and and do the
hearing the things that you hear of Christ the things that you read in the
Bible that you you want to apply those things to your life and you want
to do them don't just read it and say yeah I'm not gonna do that you want to
read it and do them and you're gonna be and when the storms come up the storms
of life come you're all you're on a rock instead of sinking sand me and
pastor and brother Oliver were walking up this hill where was that at
was that that was in Santa Cruz I think and Santa Cruz we're walking up
this hill and it's just all this sand it's like I was just thinking you
know that's like you know being on sinking sand it's easier to walk on a
rock than it is sinking sand so that sinking sand was like a calf burner
workout so anyway and I got roasted at that point I guess I don't know what
happened but anyway so let's look over at Matthew chapter 23 verse 12
Matthew chapter 23 verse 12 and of course I don't bring my cell phone up
so I'm looking up and it says 425 is it is it is it actually it's not 25
after is it I don't know anyway well now now you guys are hosed so now I'm
just gonna keep reaching until I'm done so anyway Matthew chapter 23 verse 12
whosoever does not change the clock it's gonna be chastised with
scorpions by Pastor Thompson all right Matthew chapter 23 verse 12 says
and whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased so look here's
whosoever choice that you have in your life whosoever shall exalt himself shall
be abased you know the principle here is that if you if you want to make
yourself some great thing and you want to walk around acting like you're
the best that ever was and ever will be then the Bible says you're gonna be
abased that means you're gonna be taken down a notch you know why
because God doesn't like pride God likes humbleness God likes meekness it
says and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted so we have a choice
here as a whosoever it says if you exalt yourself you're gonna be abased
so if you want to be great then be humble you know humble yourself and
then God will exalt you in due time like the Bible says so you know it's
the opposite of what people would think that's what the world does that's
what the the sports players do I'm the best that ever was and you know I always
think of that one of the San Francisco 49ers got whooped by but
Richard Sherman gets up you know and he's just like I'm the greatest that
ever played the game you know he's just like bragging about how great of a
corner is by the way he's back in Seattle but anyway so he'll be the
greatest again but no I'm just kidding he did all he could for San
Francisco it just didn't work out but anyway sorry I'm bringing up worldly
football but what I'm saying is that people that play sports and people that
that in the world they that's what they do they exalt themselves and you know
they're gonna be taken down a notch I'm sure Richard Sherman's got burnt for a
lot of touchdowns after he made that great play but because why because he
you know anybody that's like that eventually they're gonna get a base
Michael Jordan's not the best basketball player in the world anymore
you know now he's just a you know a gambling whatever he sits back and
talks about the good old days but he's still not he's not the best see
eventually you say that you're the best you're the greatest and and at
some point age is gonna catch up to you and you're not gonna be the
greatest anymore so take this principle into mind that if you're you know
that whosoever it's giving you a choice to be humble or be proud
obviously we don't want to be humble Ezekiel chapter 33 verse 4 here's an
another choice that people have so when warning is given by the man of God you
know obviously this is talking of you know this is it's taking a picture and
saying because back back in the Middle East in these times they had
walls around cities right and they had people that would blow a trumpet if
there was some kind of warning that had to take place like these armies
coming against the city they blow the trumpet and the people that don't you
know run for cover or whatever they're supposed to do they get killed so look
what it says in verse 4 then whosoever here at the sound of the
trumpet and taketh not warning if the sword come and take him away his
blood shall be upon his own head and what the Bible is teaching here is
that you know and obviously applying this spiritually as it should be then
when you're warned about something in the Bible and you don't take heed to
that and something happens in your life you know some issues are happening
in your life and you had a chance to do things right but then you failed
to do things right well look what it says his blood shall be upon his own
head this would include you know obviously people that are that are
sinful and and won't be saved you know when we go to people's doors
and try to warn them about you know the fact that they're going they're
headed for a devil's hell and that they're sinful and they need to be saved
you know we we come and blow that trumpet for people don't we and a lot
of times we just knock and they're just like you know I mean it happens
and sometimes they say some colorful thanks to us sometimes they threaten to
beat us up you know I got threatened to be beat up I think with brother
Vladi one time and people just don't they don't want to hear the truth
and so but we're going through with the trumpet trying to warn people and you
know guess what's gonna happen when we warn that person for the last time the
swords gonna come and their blood is gonna be upon their own head but even
just applying that to ourselves when we get warnings from the Word of God
pastor gets up here and just you know rips your face off and tries to
warn you against something that you're a trap that you're falling into some
kind of sin that you might be falling into and then you don't listen you
know your blood's gonna be upon your own head because you didn't listen so
now turn to Revelation chapter 14 verse 11 and this is the last verse
I'll have you turn to well actually I got a couple more here for this
point but Revelation chapter 14 verse 11 says in the smoke of their torment
ascendeth up forever and ever and they have no rest day nor night who worship
the Beast in his image and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name you
receive the mark of the Beast you're done that's what the Bible teaches
right this is a very you know you have the you but you do have a choice
right this is a your personal choice as a whosoever there's gonna be people
that are gonna take the mark of the Beast and you know what it's gonna be
their choice their choice because God's not gonna do something to you like that
because someone forced it on you right these people have a choice and it
is gonna be tied to money it's gonna be tied to you know your COVID vaccine
or whatever who knows but all this stuff's gonna be tied you're not
able to buy or sell or do anything like that and there's gonna be people
are gonna say you know what I know that that's true I know what this is but
I'm still gonna take it anyway and they're gonna receive the mark of
the Beast and the Bible says that they have no rest day nor night who
worship the Beast and his image so people do have a choice to take the
mark of the Beast or not and when they do they're gonna bring it under
themselves damnation now turn to Revelation chapter 22 verse 17
Revelation chapter 22 verse 17 here's a good choice and a spirit and the bride
say come and let him that heareth say come and let him that is a thirst come
and whosoever will let him take the water of life what to say freely amen
right so the Bible teaches that we can come and get salvation you know what
it's free amen but it says whosoever will here's another checkmate for the
Calvinist right how do you explain that it says whosoever that means
what anyone right whosoever will let him take the water of life freely so
that would be kind of weird if you didn't have a choice to get saved or
not if God is doing all the choices for you God is choosing everything for you
then that verse does not make sense so whosoever will let him take the water
of life freely it's a choice it's a choice to be saved nobody is forced
to be saved just like nobody is forced to take the mark of the Beast
nobody's we're gonna be forced to take that water of life freely so
point number three it's my last point tonight whosoever as a promise
whosoever has a promise let's look over at John chapter 11 verse number 26 John
chapter 11 verse number 26 so there's verses that teach that anyone that does
you know these whatever it's gonna say in these verses you get that as a
promise God's promising you that look at verse number 26 it says and whosoever
liveth and what believeth in me shall never die believeth thou this so
that's a promise from God whosoever liveth and believeth and who the Lord
Jesus Christ shall never die that means you'll never set one foot in hell
ever and that includes anybody from the Old Testament to the Old Testament
saints weren't roasting in hell until Jesus came in then he had to go in and
bring them back out that's not true they didn't spend a second in hell and
we won't either anybody that's saved has the promise that you will never die
you will never die and dying means what you're going to hell and none of
us in this room that saved is ever gonna set foot in there for one second
Jesus Christ did that for us didn't he now turn to 1st John chapter 5
verse 1 1st John chapter 5 verse 1 what are we talking about whosoever as a
promise God promises us certain things and he's not gonna break that promise
see we're God is the Bible says God is faithful right God is faithful now
if you want to say there's people that we would say that person's a
faithful person they're faithful to church they're faithful to the things
of God but you're not faithful like God is see we fail we're men and women we
fail we do things wrong all the time we're not faithful like God is God is
always faithful and God always keeps his promises no matter what look what
the Bible says verse number one whosoever believeth that Jesus is the
Christ is what born of God and everyone that loveth him that begat love
loveth him also that is begotten of him but it says whosoever what
believeth you're born of God you're a child of God the moment you get
saved you become a child of God you become born again like the Bible says
in the book of John chapter 3 what brother Oliver read for us earlier
so now turn to John chapter 4 verse 14 John 1 12 says but as many as received
him to them gave you power to become the sons of God even to them that
believe on his name so whosoever believeth you know and that person
that receives Christ big he gives us the power to become the sons of God he
gives us that power it's a promise of God that once we believe we are born of
God we are in the family of God forever John 4 verse 14 says but
whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst but
the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water
springing up into everlasting life so obviously this is talking about the
woman in the well and he's he speak Jesus is speaking to her and he says
whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst
that's a promise you're never gonna and so he's talking about that
spiritual water isn't he he's not talking about the water that was in
the well he's using that as a picture to show that the water that he
gives is something that we're never you're never gonna thirst isn't it
nice wouldn't it be nice to never be thirsty again you know because we drank
water because why we're thirsty but the water that Jesus gives that's never
gonna run out and it's gonna it's the but it says the water that I shall
give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting
life that well never runs dry amen that well lasts forever and that's
you're you're gonna have everlasting life that means you have a life that
never ends right I know that a lot of people have a hard time with that then
when we're out soul winning you know say you know you know if you if you
say that you're saved could you ever lose it they're like oh yeah you
could lose everlasting life it's like how do you lose everlasting life it
lasts forever that doesn't make sense but see the things of God are
foolishness to people that are not saved they just don't understand it but
we understand it because the word everlasting means it lasts forever so
that therefore you know logic and and just common sense would tell you that
it lasts forever when it says everlasting life so and I'm gonna I'm
here at the end but I wanted to show the the four most important
whosoever's we can teach other people when it comes to soul winning so
the four most important whosoever's that we can teach when it comes to
soul winning I'm not trying to tell you to change your soul winning okay so don't
don't get that from this but let's look at James chapter 2 verse 10 so
when we go through our soul winning plan of salvation there's there's four
major whosoever's that we run to you know if you do the same soul
winning plan that I think that you do there's four major whosoever's that
you're gonna run into while you're giving people the gospel and I and
I do take the time to just say right from the get-go what does whosoever
mean and you know sometimes people don't really know and so I just explained to
them that means anyone right so James 2 10 I'm sure everybody in here uses
this verse to show people that everybody is a sinner right James 2 10
says for whosoever shall keep the whole law and yet offend in one
point he is guilty of all and so we use this verse to say hey you know
maybe you've not murdered somebody but you know if you're a liar the Bible
says that if you do if you offend in one point you're guilty of all you're
you're a sinful person you are a sinner because you know sometimes
there ever once in a while there's a hard case that will say yeah well I
don't think it's that bad I don't think it's that sinful or whatever
but when you show them this verse it says whosoever what does whosoever
mean anyone right so the second major whosoever that you find in your
soul winning plan is found in Revelation chapter 20 verse number 14
Revelation chapter 20 verse number 14 I'm sure everybody goes to these verses
here also revelation chapter so the first thing we show them the first
whosoever we show them is going to be that if you don't if you offend in
one point of law then you're guilty of all you're you're a sinner
revelation chapter 20 verse 14 says and death and hell were cast in the lake of
fire this is the second death and what to say and whosoever was not found
written in the book of life was cast in the lake of fire and so that shows
them that anybody that means anybody that is not found written in the book
of life is cast into the lake of fire that means they're going to hell
and so it's not just some people it's anybody that's not found written in
that book you know the book where God can blot you out of that's the same
book so the Lamb's book of life is what it's called also but you know if
you if you are not found written in that book you're going to hell and so
that's the second major whosoever that we would show somebody in our
soul winning plan now let's go back to John chapter 3 where we first
started tonight John chapter 3 see because when people realize it's not
just them it's not just you it's everybody then they kind of feel
all-inclusive don't they it's easier for you know if the Bible's saying
that anyone whosoever you know and then it says says these statements then
they have to kind of come to the conclusion that's talking about them
also right so what does it say in verse 15 John 3 15 says that whosoever
believeth in him should not perish but have eternal life for God so loved
the world that he gave his only begotten Son that whosoever believeth in him
should not perish but have everlasting life so obviously again
John 3 16 is the most famous verse in the whole Bible and you know once
you've shown them hey anybody that doesn't keep the whole law you know
they if they offend in one point they're guilty of all of it and so
that's whosoever anybody right and then number two anybody whosoever is not
found written in the book of life is cast into the lake of fire and then
in John 3 15 and these are the verses that are gonna give them that that
healing and that grace right whosoever believeth in him so when they
think about you know whosoever well whosoever means me I'm a sinner
whosoever is not written in the book of life is casting like a fire that
means me I'm going to hell and then they come to this verse and you show
them this verse you say see just like the other whosoever's this
whosoever as long as you believe in Jesus you're not gonna perish you
don't have to go to hell you have everlasting life a life that never ends
and that's a great verse to show people when you're giving them the
gospel and a great whosoever verse in your soul winning plan now look at
Romans chapter 10 this will be the last verse we go to tonight Romans
chapter number 10 see it wasn't 162 places we turn tonight it was quite a few
but not 162 so anyway Romans chapter 10 verse 13 now of course once you've
shown them you know that whosoever doesn't keep the whole law they're
they're they're guilty of all whosoever is not found written the
book of life they're going to hell and so you have to be get written in
that book of life how do you get written that book of life well you got
to believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and once you believe on the Lord Jesus
Christ then you must call upon him and ask him for salvation right that's
what we believe it I know that you guys believe that at this church that
you know the calling upon the name of the Lord I know that's been under
attack before but what does the Bible say look at Romans 10 13 the last
whosoever that I go to in my soul winning plan is once I get him to
the door then I try to get him to walk through it right so Romans chapter 10
verse 13 says for whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be
saved it's not a might be it could be no you shall be saved so when they
call upon the Lord and they ask them for salvation and they're that
whosoever it see when I show them I just say well hey it says whosoever
believeth right you said you believe but then whosoever shall call you know
so if you call it was to say you'll be saved and so that's that's kind of how
I land the plane with them and I just kind of you know that's what I
personally do and I'm not I'm not saying you should do that I'm just
saying that you should recognize the fact though that those those words are
in there and when you're when you're going through your soul winning plan
you know sometimes people have a hard time understanding that it's them and so
with that word whosoever that does show them that it's anybody right anyone and
so anybody that's not kept the whole law they're guilty of all they're sinful
and the Bible says there's a penalty for that sin it's death and so they
don't want to die and be cast in a leg of fire then you know because
anybody that's not written in that book is being cast in there and that
whosoever believeth in him should not perish but have eternal life
whosoever believeth in him should not perish but have everlasting life and
that anybody that would call upon his name whosoever shall call upon the name
of the Lord shall be saved these are powerful powerful verses that your
disposal that you all use in your soul winning plan and so they're great
verses to help people understand that it means anyone right it means
whosoever so just to review whosoever is a powerful word it means anyone
attached it's attached truths in the Bible makes it all more powerful and
you know the promises the painful warning of anybody also the personal
choices that we have and the promise whosoever as a promise whosoever as a
personal choice whosoever as a painful warning whosoever you know
conveying the changing of somebody's destiny you know these words these last
four verses that I went through they can change someone's eternal destiny
and so it's important for us to under you know these verses are great
and you know I really had a good time studying for this but you know if
we don't put them into action if we don't put them in into place and it
really means nothing and we got it really this world is getting more
sinful it's getting more wicked it's getting harder but God's Word there's
never gonna let us down the promises of God are never gonna let us down and
the Bible still has power the gospel still has power and if we can get out
there and change this world one soul at a time one family at a time that's
what we need to be doing and so whosoever is a very important term in
the Bible and especially with these last verses that I showed you so I pray
that you would consider those things and even if you know you're not
emphasizing it in your soul-winning it is important that people understand
that these verses apply to not just everybody else but to that person also
and so when you bring that to someone's attention it can be a powerful way to
convince people so let's pray Heavenly Father we thank you Lord so much for
this great night in church and pray that you'd help us to to just make
sure that we're going out and reaching that whosoever there I was a whosoever at
one point and everybody in here that's saved was a whosoever that believed
Lord and we called upon your name pray you'd help us to to bring that
message to other people Lord that they could be a whosoever that
believeth also Jesus name we pray amen
